I have that Mary McMahon Barton's will was in court on 01-Jun-1841 (source Cox's Documented History of Posey Co. Vol. 1 pg. 16) What was your source for an 1860 death date? I think it is interesting that John Barton (believed to be Samuel's nephey) also married a woman named Mary McMahan in Posey Co. 15-Dec-1837 in Posey Co.In Nov. 1836, Samuel Barton was appointed guardian for Mary McMahan and Jackson McMahan (Cox's Documented History of Posey Co. Vol. 1 pg. 128), and I suspect that this Mary is the same as the one who married John in 1837 and was probably be a relative of the one who married Samuel.
